Europe Now Has Its Own "Most Wanted Fugitives" Web Page (eumostwanted.eu)

Posted by timothy on from the needs-to-merge-with-tumblr dept.

New submitter ffkom writes: European police organization Europol was probably jealous of the fame and popularity of the FBI's Most Wanted site, so they finally launched their own, European version. And if you want to know what a peaceful place Europe is, just consider this: You don't even have to kill anyone to get on the current "Most Wanted Fugitives" list. A mere fraud worth 12€ is currently enough to get you into this "Hall of questionable fame."

    The place where the editors don't know the "." is the thousands separator in several European languages. ;-P

    We'll stop using the comma when you stop celebrating the bombing of the world trade centre November 9/11/2001 instead of September when it actually happened.

    Ahh, good to see not much has changed in editorial quality since Slashdot's recent acquisition. Gotta keep the traditions alive!

    (and yes I know it's not realistic to expect much to change immediately after a change of ownership, but that doesn't mean we can't still be snarky about it)
